KONA 3 Installation and Operation Guide — Installing KONA 3 Software
Installing KONA 3 Software
First ensure that your third-party editing application is installed as detailed in its user
documentation. Next, install the KONA 3 driver. You cannot use KONA 3 with video editing
applications until you run the KONA 3 driver and software installer.
System software updates may occasionally become available to AJA KONA 3 owners on our
website (see
“Installation Overview” on page 17)
. We recommend checking occasionally for both
software updates and additional product information.
Note:
If your Mac has previously had another video capture or multimedia card installed,
ensure you remove the card and uninstall any related software before installing KONA 3.
This will prevent any hardware or software conflicts. KONA 3 will operate properly on a Mac
that also has an AJA Io product and its associated drivers installed.
